There is a howto on the gentoo documentation, and perhaps in the wiki |
| 12 |
too, - search for "alternative install" |

basically you need a floppy that will allow you to: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. boot with networking going |
| 17 |
2. create and mount your filesystems |
| 18 |
3. download a stage file |
| 19 |
4. unzip it (specifically bzip2, although if the floppy only has gzip ot |
| 20 |
zip you an repack your stage file) |
| 21 |
5. chroot into the new file system. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
tomsrtbt seems to fall down on the chrooting. |
